Guitar in two takes, Lead Vocal in two takes (you can tell), Harmony in one take. Recorded myself on a Summer afternoon.

There you are--the King of the Liars
Bored and boring and nothing but tired
Left your crown on your trashcan-throne
Disappointment in your pocket so you feel at home
And Rock and Roll well it don't pay the bills
Self-loathing is murder and irony kills
Optimists are chumps and nihilists are losers
Sick of wiping up the tears of alcohol abusers

And even if it's hopeless, I won't back down
I'll savor these lies and I will don that crown

Well I know, I know you'll never be all right
But that don't excuse you from giving up the fight
Cuz you know in the end it's all we got:
The lives we've touched and a burial plot
